 Switchman John M. Sands was at his post just below the Water street crossing in the Consolidated freight yard this morning at 12:30 o'clock when he turned the switch to allow switcher No. 56 with cars attached to go on a siding. After the cars had passed he saw a dark motionless object lying among the network of tracks near what is called the ''woodshed' switch. He ran up to it and was mortified to find the dead and horribly mangled body of a man, or what was left of it. His feet were torn off and the head, arms and chest crushed and ground into an almost shapeless mass of flesh, bones and shreds of clothing. Pieces of his shoes, clothing and portions of the body of the un- fortunate man were strewn along the track for distance of fifty feet more.
 Medical Examiner White, the ambulance and officers were soon on the scene of the accident. There was much uncertainty as to who the dead man was. It was ascertained upon examination that the remains were those of Peter Roach, of Huntsville. In his pocket was grocer's book. Patrick Costello was the grocer and the last entry was made May 29. A monthly employees pass from the Northampton road was found also which completely established his identity. It was made out to Peter Roach, brakeman in the company's employ. Dr. White had all the fragments of the body gathered together and removed to Lewis & Maycock's estab lishment.
 It is not known whether he had 8 family or not. Owing to the lateness of the hour but little could be learned about him. He presumably did have family, as the groeer's He was apparently about forty years of age. He was probably crossing the tracks from the Northampton company's yard when killed

THE YALE ART SCHOOL.

The Annual Reception and Exhfbt on
 A Fine Exhibit of the Pup1Is-Dis-
 play of Dutch and Flemish Paintings
 Not to Remain Long.
 The exhibition of paintings by pupils of the Yale School of Fine Arts this year is one of especial interest to everybody. There are an unusually large number of pupils whose work is exhibited, there being, in fact, more than in several years past.
 The annual reception and exhibition will occur this evening. There were many busy ones at work yesterday in making prepara- tions for the event. Among the many exhi- bitions of paintings will be placed flowers, which, with the music which will attend the reception, will make the scene a grand one.
 The various classes of the institution are in charge of Prof. Wier, Prof. Niemeyer, Prof. Honey and Prof. Foster. In the com positions in water color, oil and black and white are notable ones by Miss Rowland of Waterbury, Miss Lewis, daughter of ex-Mayor Lewis of this city, Miss Phinney, Miss Wood ing, Miss Newbury, daughter of Prof. New bury of Columbia college, Miss Sherman, Miss Candee, Miss Lines, Miss Carew, Miss Wiseman and Miss Porter. The lower room of the academy will contain the work of the pupils. Of the hundred or more representa- tions from the antique those by the Misses Cowles, Miss Rogowski, Miss Elton, Mrs. Williston, Miss Munger, Mir. Thompson, Mr. Boardman, MT. Hurlburt, MT. Garter and Mr. Brainard. Among these there is fine lot of perspective drawings, some portraits from life in crayon and charcoal and some in red and black of the anatomy class, all of which are we'll executed with an artistic hand.
 The exhibition in the west room are pen and ink drawings and also soIne water color and oil studies, which are of extraordinary merit. Among these are compositions by Miss Phinney, Miss Johnson, Miss Newberry, Miss Wooding, Miss Porter, Miss Carter, Miss Lewis, Miss Rolan, MT. Rowland and MT. Boardman.
 There is a magnificent exhibition of over a hundred old Dutch and Flemish paintings, collected and loaned by Louis R. Enrich, of New York, in the upper gallery. They are to remain for some little time, but will be taken to Chicago, and it is safe to say that no lover of art will miss seeing them here. It is the first time they have been exhibited in this country, and this will serve to increase the interest in them. There is painting by Denner, the great portrait painter. The portrait represents the head of an old man, painted on copper. Denner often devotes long time to the painting of 8 single head, and this ranks among his best. ssThe Peasants Dance" is by Rubens, show ing fancy of his we'll conceived. One by Van der Weyden, painted in the fourteenth century, remains. Among these are three paintings from the Italian school. The paint ings are all of high degree of merit, genius being shown in many of them.

| The Premier Puts Down the First l Efforts of tho Opposition in Ihe Chamber of Deputies.
 PARIS, May 31-M. Rouvier stated in the l Chamber of Deputies this afternoon that his foreign policy would be firm and prudent. Preparations for the exhibition in 1889 would be actively forwarded. M. Julien made a speech in which he requested the govern ment to define their programme. MT. Rou- vier replied that the ministry would firmly apply the existing legislation on education. In regard to economy in the public expen- ditures they proposed to retrench sixty mil lion francs. Referring to the political color of the cabinet the Premier said: "We do not reflect especially the views of anybody"
 A voice-"You are Ferry's doub1e," fol- lowed by applause from the left.
 NJ. Rouvier concluded by declaring amid loud protests from the left that the cabinet relied upon the support of the Republican party. Answering a question put subse quently M. Rouvier said the government in- tended that all citizens, even seminarists, should be subjected to the obligations of military service (applause by the eenter).
 M Millerand, of the extreme left, denied that the cabinet had the support of the Re- publican majority. M. Rouvier protested against Republican communication of which he was the object. He did not con- sider himself condemned to powerlessness merely because the extreme left refused to cooperate. He would lay down the reins of government if he failed to obtain the as- sistance of the majority. (Applause by the center) M. Millerend then moved resolu- tion of want of confidence in the government It was rejected by vote of 2S5 to 139.
 M. Rouvier then demanded the order of the day and his motion therefor was carried by 8 vote of 3S4 to 156 amid enthusiastic cheers by the center. General Farron promised that he would frankly state his opinion of the new military bill when that measure came up. He said it had been decided to advocate the three years service which should be the same for all. No distinction would be made in the case of seminarists, lay-teachers or others. He deplored the insuf6ciency of the strength of each company by reducing the number of companies NJ. Rouvier declined to answer whether he intended to effect conversion of the debt. The chamber adjourned until Thursday.
 General Boulanger this morning bade fare we'll to the officials in the War department and left Paris.
